what eats bald faced hornets?
I have a bald faced hornet nest under my garage awning. I was contemplating if I should remove them or leave them be, but came home the other day and something had ripped into the nest and ran them off. I assume it ate a bunch of them and the rest of the nest moved on to a better home. It had to have been a bird as high at it was. I'm curious, what would attack and eat these hornets like that?

I have also just seen this with a nest near my driveway (see photo). Same deal, I was contemplating removal but something tore into the nest before me and there are no hornets left. The comb is there but looks like no larvae. Must have been a bird or something that climbed, but nest is on thin branch. Definitely not a human. And I assume this happened at night when they were inactive. I know we have fisher cats around, they might be as nasty as a bunch of hornets. Couldn't believe it, new to me.

A bird that would tear into a bald faced hornets nest would have to be very aggressive to say the least, hornets of this type are very tenacious attackers, maybe a crow or a raven, But more than likely it was a person using a long stick or throwing a rock at it and tearing it open.
